GRADE Highlights
GRADE was designed to:
Maximize Efficiency
- Award-winning graphical positioning and layout algorithms
- Nearly instantenous response on editing and reconfiguring large diagrams
- Fully navigable export to HTML
Optimize Communication
- Diagrams enhanceable with icons, pictures, colors, custom symbol shapes and fonts, comments etc., for boardroom presentations and team reviews
- "Talking diagrams" with possibility to associate a voice comment with any symbol in a diagram and link these into a presentation
- Different views for different audiences and optional suppression of details when viewing or printing diagrams
Support Model Consistency and Integrity
- All aspects of a sociotechnological system (structure, dynamics, events, data, functions, resources, relationships, simulation parameters, etc.) can be reflected in a unified, graphical system model in accordance with defined language syntax and semantics
- Global name dictionary with "pick name", "rename", "navigation" and "reporting" function
- Glossary for defining the meaning of names (terms)
Support Import/Export
- Diagram export in HTML for viewing and navigating within a model via Internet browsers
- General import/export interface
- UML diagram export to Rational Rose
- Export of a data model into SQL script for database generation
Support Different Modeling Techniques and Views
- Business Modeling, encompassing organization hierarchy, processes, events, data and resource definition and dynamic simulation
- System Modeling, encompassing system structure, control flow with input/output, data definition, relationships and prototyping of control flow and interfaces
- Object-Oriented Analysis Modeling, encompassing objects and classes, methods and attributes, inheritance and dependencies, and other relationships
Support Modeling of Complex Domains
- Effective handling of very large diagrams and models
- Organization of information into logical units
- Optional suppression of details when viewing or printing
Support Model Administration
- Product is available in single- or multi-user versions
- Model "merge" and "compare" functions
- Author and change management for models and diagrams
Analyze and Validate Models
- Dynamic behavior animator and simulator
- Simulation trace browser
- Control flow and interface prototyper
